I wanted to also do a bunch of little side doodles to show off more design notes for this guy, such as how the pupils dilate in a feline manner, it's omnivorous, dragon-like teeth, that it's hooves are like a mountain goat's (and can walk on near-vertical surfaces), and that it's eye spots can move.

Now that I think about it, Steven Universe doesn't count since he's the titular/main character?

On the other hand, every Robin probably counts, since, sans Damien, they all grew up to go be their own heroes (or anti-hero, in Jason's case).

Oh, right, Steven Universe too.

ANYWAY, most of the time, when a child side character with potential is brought into a story, they usually either get forgotten about or suddenly awaken to their full power without aging or showing some sort of gradual growth over episodes/chapters.

Or she can gain her own unique Super Form called "Icy Cream".

Why the sudden thoughts of a small rabbit child? Because child characters growing into amazing power is something I don't see used well very often. Gohan from Dragon Ball is kinda the only example I can think of.

Ooh, wooly 3-tailed cow?

Does he not know that 'Antifa' is not an organization???

And the way the hero and his friends need to save the day is by convincing the rogue AI, known up to that point as the Demon Lord, to stop using the maintenence robots/androids as bad guy action figures and have them go fix the damn ship.

Furthermore! The world-ending threat turns out to be that the station lost it's stable orbit with a nearby star and was on a collision course with it.
Also the reason nobody realizes the state of their world is the work of holograms and multiple ai tasked with keeping everything going.
